UCP has joined forces with The Arc of the United States in establishing the Public Policy Collaboration. This Collaboration focuses on legislative and legal supports to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. The Public Policy Collaboration staff interact with Congress and the Administration to meet the goal of improving the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families.

From the ADA to Direct Care Personnel, from Education to Health, from Housing to Labor-HHS-Education, from Social Security to Technology—UCP advocates on behalf of individuals with disabilities!

The Contact Congress section of the UCP Web site will allow you to send a personalized or pre-written message to your Members of Congress, thus increasing the volume of messages supporting various positions on an issue. You also can send an online press release, letter to the editor or similar message to any or all of your local media, including newspapers, television and radio stations, local magazines, and locally-focused Internet sites. These services are free to UCP Web site visitors.
